Searching for errors confounds me. Like this one. The difference between the small and large date is so minimal, it's hard to tell. But I think I did actually get one this time.
Part that's causing me confusion is the '2' and the MM on this one. They both look.... I dunno.... slightly different. Like they've been "bolded" somehow. See pics below for what I mean.
This guy weighs 3.2g btw.

Inherited a few thousand coins from grandparents. Mostly Indian and Lincoln wheats. Trying to learn the art of collecting!!

First, the small/large date is a variety, not an error.
Second, it is extremely easy to tell the difference if you know what to look for.
You have a 1982-D Large Date Bronze cent. Note the distance from the base of the 2 to the rim, as well as the thickness of the lettering, compared to the small date:
Copy this stuff to paper, start a binder and study 👍
Lots to learn with 82s
You have the large date.
